Abstract: A secondary battery includes an electrode assembly having a positive electrode provided with a positive electrode tab, a separator, and a negative electrode provided with a negative electrode tab, the positive electrode, the separator, and the negative electrode being wound, the electrode assembly having a core part at a center thereof; a can configured to receive the electrode assembly therein, the negative electrode tab being connected to the can; a cap assembly coupled to an opening of the can, the positive electrode tab being connected to the cap assembly; and a reinforcing member provided on an end of the separator exposed beyond the positive electrode or the negative electrode to prevent heat of the positive electrode tab or the negative electrode tab from being transferred to the separator.

Abstract: A method of preparing 2-deoxy-L-ribose represented by the following formula I is disclosed. The preparation method includes the steps of: treating L-arabinose with an alcohol solvent in the presence of an acid to prepare 1-alkoxy-L-arabinopyranose; allowing the prepared 1-alkoxy-L-arabinopyranose to react with acyl chloride so as to prepare 1-alkoxy-2,3,4-triacyl-L-arabinopyranose; brominating the alkoxy group of the prepared 1-alkoxy-2,3,4-triacyl-L-arabinopyranose to prepare a 1-bromo-2,3,4-triacyl compound; allowing the prepared compound to react with zinc in the presence of ethyl acetate and an organic base so as to prepare glycal; treating the glycal with an alcohol solvent in the presence of an acid to prepare 1-alkoxy-2-deoxy-3,4-diacyl-L-ribopyranose; treating the prepared 1-alkoxy-2-deoxy-3,4-diacyl-L-ribopyranose with a base to prepare 1-alkoxy-2-deoxy-L-ribopyranose; and hydrolyzing the prepared 1-alkoxy-2-deoxy-L-ribopyranose in the presence of an acid catalyst.
